Damn, this sucks...
Not sure who on here knew Donny Martinez from the Sunset Strip, but he passed away on Tuesday... so lame, he was a REALLY good dude too!
He moved to LA at age 16, from Vegas, and was in a band called Friction Addiction, then JADE, which evolved into WildSide before Young Guns bought their name.
Donny was a badass bassist too... and an inch away from getting the Lenny Kravitz gig in the mid-late 90's.
Sadly he's gone, and he was barely in his 50's... early 50's... Crane called and told me the news. Ugh!
RIP Donny... you were one of the good guys... gonna miss you my friend.

Pretty sure I saw Jade on one of the Warrant/Tuff fliers around here or somewhere on the internet. Did they release any demos, just out of curiosity? Sorry to hear about your friend.
